The Stone Forest is one of Kunming’s must-see sites. Boasting a classic karst topography, the Stone Forest is full of rocky peaks, jagged rocky outcroppings, water caves, and underground rivers. The Stone Forest is centered around the Major Stone Forest and Minor Stone Forest scenic areas. The Minor Stone Forest is thick with outcroppings of rocky peaks, and the Ashima Stone stands here, named after the legendary Yi maiden who turned into the stone when she was forbidden to marry the one she loved. At the Major Stone Forest scenic area, visitors can enjoy the reflection of the Stone Forest in the Lion Pool, or take a boat ride on the Stone Forest Lake.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: Yunnan must visit Kunming, Kunming must visit the stone forest, stone forest is the hometown of the Yi Sani people, is also the home of the epic legend national story Ashima! The stone forest is full of strange stone peaks, unique stone shapes, different folk tales have been named, listen to the guides' explanations and passengers' own fantasy, may also come up with their own different ideas! Shilin Scenic Area is large, can not see carefully for a day and a half, there is enough time to stay down, experience the culture and customs of the Yi Sani people, enrich yourself!

Viena Fu: went here when its raining, but it doesnt really take the exploring spirit from me. the place was crowded woth tourists and the guide was shouting here and there. took a chance to be an ashima and paid 20yuan for one pics. custom rent around 10yuan per person. they have professional photographers but honestly the pics was bad, looks like my face is oily. better ask your friend to take by phone. though you must struggle to find the best spot. overall it was great to blend with nature. its all natural rock made. awesome
